[quote=Anonymous]The admissions process is handled by FCPS. They set the criteria for admissions -- TJ does not select the students. As of the essays, I believe there is more weight given to the essays the students write on test day. There is no doubt those essays are written by the students as they do it right after the test before they are released from the classroom. The gifted teacher at our school believes those essays usually dooms the students chances (most of the kids from our school don't write well enough to satisfy the readers). They don't look at these essays until after the student is selected as a semi-finalist.[/quote]
